re: Fortnite Battle Royale Out For Free (PS4, XB1, PC)

Pretty cool event, I chose the purple saber.

Played some of the winter Duos tourney tonight. Scoring was wild, but I did have this nice double snipe

Double Snipe

I don’t normally play squads but I did yesterday and today. All the characters have the same skins except for my squad. Are they all bots or is Fortnite trying to hide the bots by making all enemies appear to be in the same skin?

How long is the black hole shite going to last this time?

New update

New LTM is essentially Fortnite x CSGO

How are people still playing this game and how are any of you over 25 actually decent at it? Never got the hang of building.

I typically just play when new content drops - haven't touched the game since the last Christmas event (like a lot of other casual fans of the game). I'm in my mid 30s and I find it to be a good challenging adrenaline rush in small doses.

Building just takes practice like any other skill in a game, but it is 100% a barrier to entry if you aren't committed to learning how to do it. If you are a console player I would switch to the "Build Pro" button layout and practice from there.

Started playing this with my 10 yr old son. Hes alot better than me at it but we have alot of fun doing team matches. Anytime we get down to the end and we face a good builder were toast. I find we spend most of our time blaming someone for the loss. Alot of "Bro where were you?" And "No more boats! Everytime we get in a boat we die!"
